WNCAP – Dining Out For Life – 4/26/2026
WNCAP – Dining Out For Life – 4/26/2026

WNCAP provides life-saving services to those impacted by HIV/AIDS.
With your support, we can build a healthier WNC for ALL
while working to eliminate stigma around HIV and those who live and thrive with it.
Together, we can make the vision of a world without AIDS a reality.

On Thursday, April 30th, 2026 the Western North Carolina AIDS Project will hold our annual Dining Out For Life event. Dining Out For Life encourages residents of Asheville and Western North Carolina to eat out at Participating Restaurants in order to raise money for HIV care and prevention in our region.

Dining Out For Life is a celebration that supports both the local participating restaurants, and the lives of those living and thriving with HIV while raising money for WNCAP’s life-saving services.

Now in its 24th year, Dining Out for Life has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in the fight against HIV/AIDS around the globe.

The money raised by WNCAP’s annual Dining Out for Life is more critical than ever. Donations provide care, medical case management, rental assistance, prevention education, peer support, and outreach in our fight against HIV/AIDS.

Dine Out. End HIV.

In 2025, Dining Out For Life raised more than $85,000 in support of HIV care and prevention in our region. 

We cannot thank enough the participating restaurants and their wait staff, our volunteers, WNCAP staff, and everyone in the community who dined out, donated, and participated in this last year’s fundraiser.
